It's Starting To Look Like A Lot Like Christmas

This little macaroni angel was made with some of the children I worked with the year before last.
I love kids and Christmas time ~ children's excitement is so infectious.

Only two weekends to go before I've finished most of my paperwork and can start really enjoying the festive season. I'm itching to craft again!
